After the border army was released, Wangjiazhuang returned to its former calm, and Wang Dalun was thinking about opening a weapons shop in addition to going to the barracks from time to time. Under the leadership of Tian Boguang, the regimental training is taking shape day by day, and a more urgent problem has arisen, there are not many weapons.

Because it is a border city, weapons are very tightly controlled, and you can't buy them at all. The weapons that flowed out of the border army made Wang Dalun sad, a knife couldn't even be cut against a kitchen knife, looking at the Pu knife that was cut by a kitchen knife full of gaps, Wang Dalun was completely dead to the weapons made by the military.

At the beginning, Wang Dalun felt that it was very simple to start a weapons shop, and with a stable supply of iron materials, it would be better to find two more blacksmiths. The reason why the weapons of the army are not well made is nothing more than that the craftsmen are treated like slaves, and they are in the mood to do a good job.

Wang Dalun, who was about to show his skills, was poured cold water when he invited the master, and the two blacksmith masters he was about to invite all shook their heads when they heard that Wang Dalun asked them to fight weapons.

One of the older craftsmen said to Wang Dalun: "Young Master Wang, you ask me to help you fight kitchen knives, this little old man is good at it, but if you fight weapons, please forgive me for not being able to do anything." ”

"For what? I've got this weapon, so you don't have to worry about it. Wang Dalun hurriedly promised.

"Young Master Wang, we're not worried about this problem. We really can't make it, you have to know that this long knife and kitchen knife are two different ways to play, we don't have this ability. The older blacksmith explained.

"It's all knives, you can't fight it?" Wang Dalun asked in disbelief.

"Young Master Wang, this long knife requires it to be sharp, and there is no problem with our knife to cut vegetables, but if you want to cut people, then there is no way."

When Wang Dalun heard this, he was depressed, and he thought of the scene of a group of people cutting vegetables with long knives, and he felt very helpless.

"Then do you know who knows how to use weapons?"

"There is no Xingxian County, Young Master Wang, the people who can fight weapons are all craftsmen, they are all personnel in the compilation, these are ancestral skills, you can't find them among the people."

The depressed Wang Dalun had no choice but to go to Zheng Qianhu, hoping that he would come forward to find two masters who could make weapons from the artisan camp.

"I can't help it!" Zheng Liwei spread his hands and said helplessly, looking at Wang Dalun's puzzled eyes, he further explained: "The craftsmen are managed by the Ministry of Industry, I can't intervene, you may find your father-in-law to do better." ”

Wang Dalun had no choice but to go to Lao Taishan for help.

"It's not a problem, I'll write to me in the same year Dong Ruinian, he happens to be in charge of this in the Ministry of Industry, you can lend a few people to you. However, I may have been in the Ministry of Industry for a long time in the same year, and I like yellow and white things a little, and I am famous for recognizing money and not people, so you have to make some blood! ”

"Father-in-law, don't worry, I understand the rules!" Hearing that he was asking for money, Wang Dalun breathed a sigh of relief, he lacked everything now, so he was not short of money.

Fang Wenjin nodded, then picked up the pen and wrote a letter, handed it to Qian Shijin, and said, "You arranged for Fang Xing to handle this matter." ”

Wang Dalun hurriedly took out a stack of silver tickets and handed them to Qian Shijin, Qian Shijin counted them and asked, "Wang Gongzi, is it one thousand and one hundred taels?" ”

Wang Dalun nodded and said, "Yes, one thousand taels will be sent to Lord Dong, and one hundred taels will be used as various expenses on the road." ”

Fang Wenjin wanted to speak on the side, but after thinking about it, he didn't speak.

After Qian Shijin left, Fang Wenjin said: "Why do you want to give Dong Ruinian so much silver, it's almost enough to give him five hundred taels." ”

"Father-in-law, didn't you say you wanted some blood, that's why I gave so much. Do you want me to get the money back? Wang Dalun said in surprise.

"Forget it, I didn't stop it just now because I haven't been in the capital for a long time, so I should be in touch with feelings, multiple friends and multiple roads. But in the future, you should not be too arrogant, or keep a low profile, lest others slaughter you like a pig. Fang Wenjin admonished.

"Yes, I'll pay attention to it later." Wang Dalun assured.

A month later, Fang Xing came back, in addition to himself, he also brought back more than 30 people, looking at the black pressure room of people dressed in tatters, Wang Dalun grabbed Fang Xing and asked, "What's going on?" I asked you to help me find a master, why do I look like a bunch of beggars? You're not going to recruit a bunch of beggars from outside to fool me, are you? ”

"How dare I! Great officials, you don't know the way, these craftsmen are almost like beggars, if you don't see where they live, it's a little better than a beggar's nest. ”

"How can there be so many people? Didn't you say that you were only looking for two masters? Wang Dalun asked in surprise.

Fang Xing said: "When Lord Dong saw the letter and gifts from my family, he was very happy, so he gave me so many people. ”

"How can I use so many people, where can I find so many weapons to fight more than 30 people, and I don't open a factory." Wang Dalun said dissatisfiedly.

"Great officials, they are not all swordsmen." Fang Xing replied.

"I can't stand those thirty apprentices!" Wang Dalun was even more dissatisfied.

"Blame me for not making it clear, I mean they have those who specialize in smelting steel, those who cast iron, those who forge iron, and even those who make firebolts." Fang Xing explained.

Wang Dalun is stupid, I'm dizzy, this is too outrageous! There are all those who make firecrackers, and this Lord Dong is too bold, even such a person dares to give it.

Mr. Dong is really a model of corrupt officials, not only does he do things when he collects money, but also seriously considers for customers, and the service is in place, and the masters of the entire weapon production process are included, a real one-stop service, intimate!

Wang Dalun, who felt that his money was not spent in vain, hurriedly instructed Wu Liangdao: "Steward Wu, you arranged for these people to take a bath and change their clothes, the smell is too strong." ”

After those masters cleaned up their bodies, Wang Dalun held a banquet to entertain them.

When Wang Dalun stood up to toast them, the masters were all flattered and stood up.

"Don't be restrained, you are your own family when you come to my house, and now I am going to set up a weapons workshop, and I need you to contribute your talents and skills. Don't worry, I, Wang Dalun, will not treat you badly, I will pay you ten taels of silver every year, what do you think? ”

Wang Dalun felt that the Ministry of Industry's management of artisan households was too watery, and if the horses wanted to run fast, they had to be fed with grass. If you treat others as slaves, who will do their best to help you do things, and they can't inspire people's enthusiasm at all!

"Boss, you're not kidding, are you?" The artisans felt that Wang Dalun was entertaining them, and they had never seen anyone pay such a high salary.

"I, Wang Dalun, have always been counting, if you behave well, I will give you red envelopes at the end of the year!" Wang Dalun threw a big pie again.

All the craftsmen knelt down excitedly, kowtowed, and said: "Owner, don't worry, you treat us so well, we will definitely do our best to work for you!" ”

"Get up, get up, kneel what? I don't have this rule here! Wang Dalun hurriedly pulled everyone up, he was still not used to this.

After everyone was pulled up, Wang Dalun said: "You have a long journey, I see you rest for a few days, and then you list all the tools and equipment to be used, and start work when I am ready, how about it?" ”

"We receive such a high amount of silver, where is it embarrassing to rest, we will start work tomorrow, and we are quite good at preparing utensils."

With the master, Wang Dalun immediately gathered people and began to build a blast furnace according to the requirements of the masters, equipped with various utensils. Under the continuous debugging of the masters, the first Pu knife was finally beaten.

Wang Dalun picked up the freshly polished Pu knife and slashed hard at the kitchen knife, only to see that the kitchen knife was cut out of a gap, looking at this Pu knife, there was no gap in the blade.

Wang Dalun nodded with satisfaction and asked the master next to him: "Master Gan, if it is officially put into production, how many knives can you make in a month?" ”

Master Gan thought for a moment and said, "If we have a few more helpers, we can play sixty in a month!" ”

"How much?" Wang Dalun asked in surprise.

"Sixty a month, the owner, can not be more, the rejection rate is too high. You must know that a good knife must go through more than ten procedures, which are very time-consuming. Owner, our efficiency is much faster than in the artisan camp, and at that time we can play more than 20 a month at most. Master Gan replied.

Wang Dalun was speechless, his heart was dripping blood.

Master Gan was very unhappy when he saw Wang Dalun, and immediately said: "Don't worry, although our output is not high, we can guarantee that the things we produce are definitely high-quality." ”

"I want to ask, I don't need you to make it into a high-quality product, as long as you can ensure the general quality, that is, you can cut pig iron, how much can you produce?" Wang Dalun asked.

"In that case, a hundred a month." Gan thought about it and said.

"Then you guys will come here and equip my regimental training first. Sect Leader Tian will give you the number of knives, guns, and shields needed for group training, and you will try to complete it in half a year! ”

Wang Dalun instructed, as for the dividends to Zheng Liwei, then wait until he makes a profit, and at most help him fight a few weapons.

When Wang Dalun was about to leave, Liu Dahai, who made the fire, said to Wang Dalun: "Boss, what should I do?" ”

"You?" Wang Dalun looked at Liu Dahai and had a headache, this is not easy to arrange, let him make a firecracker, it is estimated that this output is even more painful, if he is allowed to be someone else's helper, it will be a waste.

"That's it, you think about it carefully, the current fire gun excitation and charge are too slow, can you improve it, if it is reformed well, I will be rewarded!" Wang Dalun said casually.

"Improving the firebolt? I don't have any experience! Liu Dahai said embarrassedly.

"What are you afraid of, let me tell you, this excitation device, you think about how to make it excited with flint, and the charge, you can try to make it into a fixed assembly, or make it into a one, I seem to have heard that paper or silk can achieve this effect." Wang Dalun opened his golden finger.

"Don't be afraid to spend money, you go and pay fifty taels of silver first, and don't be afraid to spend money after a lot of experiments." Wang Dalun, as a musketeer in later generations, is very much looking forward to solving the opponent with a platoon gun.
